Book excerpt: "I wrote The Board Member's Guide to Risk to be a highly accessible guidebook. I want directors to talk more about, read more about, and have more confidence in, taking risk. Everything we do in life requires taking risk or we're left with only a deterioration from the status quo. If we want to continue to serve those who rely on us in better ways, we want our organizations to be the best at taking risk that they can be. This book will get you started down that path or further your journey if you've already begun." -David R. KoenigIn fact, all human organizations exist to take risk. Anytime we come together to try to serve some purpose or achieve some goal, we have assumed risks. If we didn't, we'd never advance beyond the status quo. In fact, not taking risks is probably the single surest way to be doomed to failure in the long-term, as innovation, competition, and customer lethargy slowly eat away at any advantage we may enjoy today.Good businesses take risk confidently. When we govern our organizations, we must welcome risk-taking in ways that are responsible and smart. This book is not about risk management. That's for the people in your organization to do. Rather, this book is about how to make boards and individual board members better at the governance of an organization's risk-taking. This book is also like a travel guidebook to the ideas that help you to take risk well.Finally, this book is also about recovery. As I finish my writing, the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is beginning to grow exponentially in the United States, where I live, as it has in other countries. We are responding, but many aspects of our economic life - and the total economic life of some organizations - are frozen. How you think about and treat risk at the board level will impact how quickly your organization will recover from this health crisis, which is rapidly becoming a social and economic crisis too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Think for a moment of the best conversations you’ve had with friends and colleagues. You were honest with one another—not shy about speaking up but relaxed, even if the topic being discussed was serious in nature. That’s the type of conversation The Nonprofit Board Answer Book aims to have with you in the pages that follow. It follows a question-and-answer format, enabling you to quickly find an answer to a burning question you have right now. At the same time, it’s easy to pick up and read straight through, either cover to cover or one section at a time. At the end of each question-and-answer pairing you’ll find suggested action steps. These offer ways to put the information to a practical use on your own board and within your own nonprofit organization. Implementing some of these steps may lead to more questions as you become even more committed to fulfilling your responsibilities as a board member. Remember: behind every good answer lies a good question. So keep asking those questions.”--from the Introduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk Management today has moved from being the topic of top level conferences and media discussions to being a permanent issue in the board and top management agenda. Several new directives and regulations in Switzerland, Germany and EU make it obligatory for the firms to have a risk management strategy and transparently disclose the risk management process to their stakeholders. Shareholders, insurance providers, banks, media, analysts, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders expect the board members to be pro-active in knowing the critical risks facing their organization and provide them with a reasonable assurance vis-à-vis the management of those risks. In this environment however, the lack of standards and training opportunities makes this task difficult for board members. This book with the help of real life examples, analysis of drivers, interpretation of the Swiss legal requirements, and information based on international benchmarks tries to reach out to the forward looking leaders of today's businesses. The authors have collectively brought their years of scientific and practical experience in risk management, Swiss law and board memberships together to provide the board members practical solutions in risk management. The desire is that this book will clear the fear regarding risk management from the minds of the company leadership and help them in making risk savvy decisions in quest to achieve their strategic objectives.

Addresses various issues that affect corporate value, from management and systems theory to governance science, risk management, and traditional finance Reveals how to recognize internal processes and external events that affect value creation Highlights how to create resilient organizations that generate greater value from their processes Governance Reimagined offers corporate leaders a new way to think about value, and will help you understand some of the factors that destroy value within organizations, but most importantly how new value can be created and how missions can more ably be fulfilled. This is an important book for these dynamic economic times.
